The creator diagnoses it as a loose nut/washer joint behind the rear tire, pulls the wheel for visibility, tightens the nut to resolve it, then demonstrates proper lug nut torque (70 ft-lbs) and star-pattern tightening when reinstalling. Useful for owners experiencing this exact hitch-sag issue, not a general overview.
Posted by The Little Green Tractor channel, an owner working on his own 1025R and sharing a hands-on DIY troubleshooting fix.
A nut and rod with washers behind the rear tire form the joint for the lever, and that nut can loosen over time, causing it to fall.
Remove the rear tire for visibility, locate the nut behind the tire using a 15 millimeter socket or wrench, and tighten it about three-quarters of a turn.
According to the manual, the rear wheels should be torqued at 70 foot pounds, tightened in a star pattern across from each other.
